Kilmarock Eviction Risk: Elevated , Silver Spring

Running hot, local political climate reads 9.1/10. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 9/10. Severe burden reaches 20%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

67% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. It sits 1.6 points above the Montgomery County average of 6.0. Average gross rent is $1,213, 15% below the Takoma Park average.

That is riskier than roughly 88% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the MD average is 5.5, so this tract runs 2.1 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
